注释: 1. United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA):美国食品及药品管理局 2. United States Congress:美国国会 3. Rhode Island:罗得岛(美国州名) 4. New York Times:纽约时报 5. But, he also said there are probably more cases than are reported. 不过,他也说道,可能实际病例要比报导的多。 请注意本句中than的用法。than后面连接了一个句子,可是却没有主语,学术界对此有两种说法:一种认为than是关系代词,它本身在从句中作一个句子成分;另一种则认为than仍为连接词,后面省略了句子的适当成分。请看类似的句子: You spent more money than was intended to be spent. 你花去的钱比预计的多。 (请比较:You spent the money that was intended.) As the child grows, the jawbones grow also; therefore, there is space for more teeth than are in the first set. 随着孩子的长大,颌骨也随着长大,因此就有空间供比第 一套还要多的牙齿占用。

答案与题解: 1. C 第一段第一句只说FDA命令制药公司在13种安眠药上贴上语气坚定的新警告语,但是没有提到这13种是不是包括了美国的所有的安眠药。 2. A 第一段中FDA命令制药商贴新警告语并指导病人如何安全用药,自然就认为这是制药商不可推卸的责任。 3. A 第二段第一、二句说到,其中有些药物具有意外的危险作用,包括威胁生命的过敏反应。既然威胁到生命,那有时就可能引起死亡。 4. B 请注意第三段最后一句的was also being treated,尤其是 also,说明他服用安眠药的同时也服用治呕吐的药,故不是单纯后一种药引起他的车祸。 5. C 第四段第一句说,FDA没有说它调查了多少昏昏迷迷开车的事例,因此它是否作过大量调查我们并不知道。 6. A 第四段尤其是其中的第三句说到,服用安眠药以后有人昏昏迷迷开车,有人梦游,因此梦游属于的副作用之一。, 7. B 最后一段说到,只要服安眠药时按说明书服用而且不喝酒,危险行为就会减少,因此副作用并不是不可避免。
